    Yeah, while material and social conditions matter, turns out having a fucking Conscience wasn't invented in 1965. Have a look at what this Dominican friar said about the situation in 1542.

      When you are such an evil bastard you make the priest accompanying you question the existence of a benevolent God

        It was a speech by Montesinos during a full high mass attended by the local nobility that converted him from being a shithead slaver.

        Basically "What you are doing is so evil you pretty much can't be forgiven for it, it's essentially not having faith in Jesus, so fuck you, you're excommunicated, and you're never getting back in. Go to hell, literally."
